Strong is the New Pretty

slide_416696_5295546_freeThis morning I woke up to an email with the subject line “inspiring,” sent from one of my best friends in Chicago. (It’s Kayla, my Chicago road trip buddy from this post a few months back). Well, of course that immediately sounded like something I muuust start my day with, so I opened it right away.  It took me to a Huffington Post article about a photographer named Kate Parker who is showcasing some truly beautiful and authentic photographs of little girls – two of which are her own daughters. So why was this newsworthy? Because these images showcase an accurate depiction of what little girls are and not what society broadcasts in ad campaigns, and that’s something you don’t see everyday. The article begins with, “Messy. Loud. Athletic. Joyous. Fearless.”  I’m beginning to think we can learn a lot from these photos!

Those Joggers Tho

livvyland-blog-mint-clothing-company-joggers-how-to-wear-chambray-blush-pink-reflective-sunglasses-olivia-watson-austin-texas-fashion-blogger-2These Mint Clothing Co. joggers (now on sale) are my new go-to pants for a “comfort meets style” outfit. Fabulous with sneakers like these New Balance tennies, or equally as adorable dressed up with some nude heels and a chambray button up, these harem joggers are super versatile and perfect for a quick coffee run or lunch with your gal-pals. I mixed metals by wearing gold necklaces and a rose gold bracelet and watch, then topped off the look with a blush pink clutch to compliment the pastel blue chambray top.

Fashionable (& affordable!) Eyewear Featuring Firmoo

livvyland-blog-firmoo-glasses-fashion-blogger-austin-texas-plastic-hipster-frames-reading-girl-olivia-watsonAre you a sucker for fashionable eyewear? I know I am! Luckily, I’ve discovered a brand that makes fabulous quality glasses that won’t deplete your bank account. Hoorah! Firmoo is a popular online-only retailer known for their low prices, fashion-forward styles and optical prescription offerings at no extra charge – pretty perfect if you ask me! Firmoo sent me these adorable black key-hole glasses with my prescription and I am in love! They are super light-weight, fit my face just right and have quickly become one of my favorite stylish accessories. (Not to mention the whole no-makeup-with-glasses-look is pretty great, too! 😉 )Whether I’m at home having a girls’ day in wearing my pj’s and painting my nails (see above…) or out and about wearing a cute outfit, I feel great when I wear these glasses – and I can see better, too! But hey, if you don’t need prescription lenses but still want a pair of glasses for fashion purposes, given the low price point they’re still a great option.

Another cool component to the Firmoo ordering process is that you can see what each pair of frames look like on different shaped faces or even upload a photo of your own, which I find really helpful when ordering online.

If you’re on the hunt for a new pair of glasses to freshen up your spring style, now is a great time to scope out their big selection of fashionable frames. Ps. The one’s I’m wearing are just $26 for the next three days, then they go back up to $39!
